Sources close to O’Donnell say she and Rounds, her wife of three years, have been living apart for months, and that O’Donnell feels she must leave the show to focus on her five children.

O’Donnell rep, Cindi Berger, confirmed the marital split, as well O’Donnell’s departure from “The View,” in a statement Friday night.

“I can confirm that Rosie and her wife Michelle split in November. Rosie has teens and an infant at home that need her attention. This has been a very stressful situation. She is putting her personal health and family first. ABC has been wonderfully understanding and supportive of her personal decision to leave ‘The View.’”
